Mourinho wanted to emphasise his collective after the match; team-work had won three points. His relaxed outfit corresponded. A player from the touchline?

When Chelsea fans sang his name he pointed to the pitch. Classic modesty-with-a-purpose from Mourinho.

It also undermined the magnitude of the game. Gone was the suit and coat associated with a serious approach. Another barb at the Premier League fixture schedulers?

Of course, he is not the first Premier League manager to wear a gilet this season. Perhaps he had studied Tim Sherwood or Garry Monk, two men this season promoted to taking charge of teams for the first time.

Nice fit! Garry Monk has taken to wearing a gilet while on the touchline in charge of Swansea City

Try it on: Arsenal's club gilet for £50

Cheaper: Swansea City's is £21.99

Where's the badge? Liverpool's £45 gilet doesn't have any reference to the club on it

Cheer up, Jose! Chelsea sell variants of the manager's jacket for supporters on their online shop

This is all mine: Mourinho thumps his chest after Chelsea's second at Liverpool

Both have adopted the look of a head coach; one of the lads.

Sherwood also found the benefit of having something to hand that could easily be ripped off and flung at the ground when frustration strikes. No need for a stress ball.

But any Chelsea supporters wanting to recreate Mourinho’s look will either have to be a baby or a woman. Right now, you can’t buy an adult male gilet on the club’s website.

According
to the online shop, the women’s navy padded gilet ‘will make you feel
warm and stylish at Stamford Bridge’. Take their word for it. It costs
£30.

The baby blue one for kids is similar to Mourinho’s, just smaller. A snip at £13.

Younger
Swansea fans can get a Monk replica for £21.99, although these seem
popular with a number out of stock. Makes you wonder if Monk has
royalties for all that free advertising.

Tottenham
are the only club of the three with gilets available for grown-up men.
Perhaps that should be taken as a sign. Supporters can get any of six
sizes for £30.

Just make sure to un-zip before you throwing it to the floor.

For her: Chelsea don't sell male gilets but women have the opportunity to purchase one for £30
